History

The word "dollar" comes from the German word "Thaler," a large silver German coin. The dollar was one of the first silver coins made, in 1794. Since then the dollar coin has been minted periodically with different versions of Liberty and other individuals on the obverse, including those of President Dwight D. Eisenhower (1971-1978) and suffragist Susan B. Anthony (1979-1981, 1999). The Presidential $1 Coin Program launched in 2007.
